What is Knowledge?

Knowledge is…

• “a body of information relevant to

job performance”

• “meaningful links people make in

their minds between information and its application”

Information and Knowledge (1)

• Data: Unorganized Facts
• Information: Data + Content
• Knowledge: Information + Judgement

Information and Knowledge (2)

Information is not equivalent to knowledge. Even the contrary might be true: “The amount of information available continues to increase at incredible rates. This is normally seen as a benefit. I, on the contrary, see this as a profound problem because when information doubles, knowledge when information doubles, knowledge halves and wisdom quarters halves and wisdom quarters.”

Knowledge Worker

“A worker whose achievement lies in doing the right things through exercising his expertise, rather than doing things right as in mechanical production line work. Knowledge workers need to be autonomous. They learn and find better ways of doing things. They make educated judgements and they do not just do what they're told to do” (Drucker)

Knowledge Economy or Networking Economy?

Any work, not strongly skill- intensive, but dependent on electronic networks – that of a data processor or cashier, for example Any work reliant on proximity and independent of electronic networks – that of a barber or a waiter, for example

"Non- Knowledge" Worker

Any highly skilled work dependent upon electronic networks, such as that of a trader or a teleworking software developer Any highly skilled work not reliant on electronic networks, such as that of a university professor
